An Integrated and Economic Backup System

Application scenario▬ IP/FC networking

▬ Heterogeneous host platform

▬ Multi-host concurrent backup

▬ Requirement for high backup throughput

Solution▬ Use the VTL3500 as the backup media

▬ Virtualize multiple virtual tape libraries and drives

Effect▬ Supports FC/IP networking

▬ Provides the compatibility with the heterogeneous host

platform and different backup software

▬ Provides a storage capacity of 24 TB to meet the backup

requirement of SMBs

▬ Implements up to 400MB/s （ 1.44 TB/hr ） backup

performance

▬ Reduces the use of storage space by half through the

compression and de-duplication function improving the

cost-effectiveness of storage

▬ Simplifies maintenance and management

Integrated and economic backup system

page ‹#›


Tiered Backup Application scenario

▬ The existing backup system uses physical tape

libraries

▬ The current backup performance does not meet the

requirement of customers.

▬ Need to simplify management of physical tape

library

Solution▬ Back up data to the VTL3500

▬ Use the VTL3500 to take over physical tape libraries

and enable the tape caching.

Effect▬ Improves the backup and recovery performance to

400MB/s （ 1.44 TB/hr ） ▬ Implements tiered storage by effectively using the

existing physical tape libraries protecting the

existing investment

▬ Encrypts the archived data to ensure the security of

data on physical tapes

Tiered Backup

page ‹#›


Remote Disaster Recovery Application scenario

▬ Requirement for disaster

recovery

Solution

▬ Deploy a VTL3500 in both the

production center and the

disaster recovery center

Effect▬ The IP replication, data compression, and encryption functions of the VTL3500

implement economic and secure remote data-level disaster recovery

▬ The data de-duplication function of the VTL3500 helps utilize backup capacity by

deleting duplicate data before IP replication is performed. This significantly reduces

the required bandwidth in data transmission.

page ‹#›


Distributed Backup Application scenario

▬ The data of large branches are transmitted

to the data center over IP networks, so the

amount of backup data is huge. Also, the

backup window cannot meet the

requirement of customers.

Solution▬ Deploy a VTL3500 on each large branch and

multiple VTL3500s in the data center and

enable the data de-duplication function on

all the VTL3500s.▬ Back up the data of the branches to the local

VTL3500 and copy the data to the VTL pool

of the data center over the IP network.

Effect▬ The data of the branches are backed up and

archived in a centralized manner.▬ The data de-duplication function helps to

significantly reduce the amount of data to be

transmitted in IP replication, thus reducing

the bandwidth consumption.
